Flytippers have been dumping bottles of urine in rubbish in laybys on the A180.

This latest spate of flytipping comes days after North East Lincolnshire Council cleared roughly 2.5 tonnes of dumped rubbish from laybys along the busy dual carriageway

The council's street cleansing team also removed bedding, bin bags, boxes, curtains, old TVs, sofas, towels, traffic bollards, tyres and lots of bottles of urine from the area.

It is thought the total is likely to be closer to five tonnes of dumped rubbish when it has all been cleared away.

Councillor David Bolton, portfolio holder for safer and stronger communities, said: "Our street cleansing team are often faced with disgusting sights and smells during the course of their work, but clearing away bottles of urine is particularly gross.

“It really is sickening when they’ve worked hard to keep an area clear only to see it spoiled again within a few days.

“If anyone saw people dumping waste in any of the laybys, or if you know who it belongs to, please report it at www.nelincs.gov.uk/report-it and give as much information as possible. Alternatively, call 01472 326300.”

Council enforcement officers from the community protection and compliance team are investigating and asking anyone who knows where the flytipped waste came from or who dumped it to contact them.

Councillor Steve Beasant, chairman of the overview and scrutiny committee, said: “Our street cleansing team are on the front line when it comes to taking care of the environment, but often what they have to deal with is truly revolting.

“A lot of the mess our streets cleansing team clears up is flytipped by criminals and rogue traders with no respect for the law or the environment.

“It could be avoided if people disposed of their waste correctly.”
